Chapter 498: Every Step a Misstep

Su Manyao's eyes were full of disappointment.

Looking at the person before him, he was really angry to the point of being unable to bear it.

You still have the nerve to say that?

Uncle Lin, face full of indignation: "If it weren't for your parents choosing to hand over the company's inheritance rights to Jiang Cheng, how could I possibly have acted this way?"

I was merely forced into a desperate situation by you all, and only then, out of necessity, did I act this way—how could that also be wrong?

And you—could it be that all your worries lately have just been an act put on in front of me? Uncle Lin gritted his teeth, thinking his subordinates had smoothly carried out his arrangements.

But looking at it now……he had been deceived long ago!

Those guys, each of them treated him as a fool and a big sucker, then……

They mercilessly toyed with him.

Uncle Lin instantly sobered, his slightly trembling hand pointing at Su Manyao.

I never expected you, this little girl, to be so crafty and cunning. From the very beginning, you deliberately put on an act in front of me, then caused all these things to happen?

The more he thought about it, the more disappointed he became, shaking his head slightly.

Heartbroken, Uncle Lin plopped down on the ground: "Good thing I actually believed your words, really thinking my affairs would go smoothly."

Just after saying that, he suddenly thought of something.

Uncle Lin, eyes widening in disbelief, looked at the person before him: "Does that also mean that the subordinates I arranged have also been bribed by you?"

You're not too stupid. Jiang Cheng sat opposite him, crossing his legs, leisurely teasing: "I originally thought I'd have to personally tell you all the truth before you'd catch on."

I didn't expect you to catch on so quickly.

Uncle Lin: "……"

Boom—

The world plunged into darkness.

His body trembled slightly; at that moment he could barely stand, almost sitting down on the ground.

His face full of unwillingness, his eyes locked onto Jiang Cheng: "What did you say?"

You actually got bribed?

These past days, they've been constantly on the phone.

Every time it was a video call.

In the video, Shenfu, both of them looked disheveled, with various wounds on their bodies, already beaten black and blue.

As a result……

No!

Absolutely impossible!

Uncle Lin didn't believe it, shaking his head vigorously: "You two are just deliberately deceiving me, right? How could this be true?"

Besides, my plan should be foolproof, everything should go smoothly. Uncle Lin still didn't believe it, making up excuse after excuse for himself, trying to let things proceed smoothly.

Too bad, the truth has already been laid before him. Even if he can't accept it now, he still has to fully accept it.

Jiang Cheng told him: "I know you can't accept this at all right now, but even if you can't accept it, you still must accept it."

All these recent events are things we deliberately arranged. The purpose was to lure you out of your hiding place, then, well, seize this opportunity to bring you to justice.

I originally thought this wouldn't be a simple matter. Dealing with you would be very difficult. But I never imagined these things would go so smoothly, even afterwards……

Since it was so easy, we just bribed you over! Jiang Cheng laughed.

Seeing the other party in agony, Jiang Cheng felt great.

Looking at him before him, he appeared angry, even with a sinister expression.

Jiang Cheng said: "I know you're smart, I truly didn't expect you to occasionally make some rather foolish mistakes. And I, so easily, could toy with you, making you spin around, even making you fail to notice where the problem lies."

Jiang Cheng laughed again.

Uncle Lin's face was hateful: "Shut up!"

If it weren't for you, how could this have happened?

All this is your fault; I will definitely make you pay with blood for blood, make you bear all the deserved cost! His eyes gradually turned red.

The hand hanging at his side clenched involuntarily; that twisted expression made Jiang Cheng look as if he were afraid, his whole body trembling as he said: "I'm so scared, please don't lay a hand on me!"

I just want to live properly; can you spare my life? Jiang Cheng was deliberately teasing, deliberately playing this act in front of him.

Could Uncle Lin not know?

Uncle Lin's temper grew more and more violent; he now had some madness.

Ah!

Why is this happening?

Plus Jiang Cheng's shameless face, the more he looked at it the more he felt a fire of anger burning in his chest. The uncontainable anger made his mood unable to calm.

And he, unable to hold back, wanted to rush toward Jiang Cheng, then choke his neck, preferably strangling him to death.

His mind was filled with the thought that he must make Jiang Cheng pay with blood for blood.

He couldn't stand Jiang Cheng's shameless face.

He must make Jiang Cheng pay the price!

His hand had just reached out, not yet had time to act, when Jiang Cheng suddenly grabbed his hand, specifically his wrist.

Jiang Cheng laughed: "No way, you're just getting angry from embarrassment?"

I just said a couple of sentences about you, is that really necessary? Jiang Cheng was deliberately provoking him, seeing that the other party was already furious, while he kept on aggravating.

At that time.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly upward.

Uncle Lin was already on the verge of bursting with rage; seeing Jiang Cheng's shameless demeanor, he almost used all his strength in his hands, then kept trying to push Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng grabbed their hand, leaving them unable to struggle at all.

Let go of me!

"You're already trying to take my life, and now you're still trying to make me let you go?" Jiang Cheng isn't some sick person; seeing the other party attack him like this, could he possibly be so foolish as to loosen his grip on them, letting them beat him up?

He would never be willing!

You!

Well, you Jiang Cheng, I never imagined you'd have thought up so many schemes against me. It looks like I underestimated your strength from the start, which is why you, this despicable, shameless wretch, got an opening.

The more he thought, the angrier he became, unable to suppress the fury in his heart; his gaze was locked firmly onto Su Manyao's direction.

And you, actually colluding with Jiang Cheng in disgrace—I truly misjudged you! If I had known this would happen, I never should have trusted you in the first place; otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen to this point.

How did he make a single mistake, then mistake after mistake? (End of chapter)
